Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 6, Royals 0 at Baltimore (night game):
A single by Jerry May in the third inning was the only hit that Mike Cuellar allowed in pitching the Orioles to a 6-0 victory over the Royals. After May's safety, Cuellar retired 19 straight batters before walking Bob Oliver, who was the only other Royal to reach base.

[DH] White Sox 5, Senators 0 (night game) / White Sox 9, Senators 5 at Chicago (night game):
Rick Reichardt collected seven hits in 10 times at bat to lead the White Sox to a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the Senators, 5-0 and 9-5. Tom Bradley pitched a shutout, scattering five hits. Reichardt, who was 2-for-5 in the opener, came back with 5-for-5 in the nightcap, including a homer, and snapped a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning.

A's 8, Indians 1 at Cleveland (night game):
Starting with a homer by Bert Campaneris to lead off the first inning, the Athletics piled up 18 hits and beat the Indians, 8-1. Campaneris homered again in the sixth, this time with a man on base, and drove in another run with a single in the seventh.

Tigers 8, Angels 1 at Detroit (night game):
Ike Brown, making his first start of the season at second base for the Tigers, had a perfect night at bat with three hits and a sacrifice fly in an 8-1 victory over the Angels. Brown's biggest blow was a homer with two men on base.

Yankees 3, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (night game):
Mel Stottlemyre not only pitched a three-hitter, but also drove in one run and scored another as the Yankees defeated the Brewers, 3-0. Stottlemyre singled to plate one of the Yankees' two runs in the fourth inning and then walked and scored on singles by Jake Gibbs and Roy White in the ninth.

Twins 1, Red Sox 0 at Minnesota (night game):
Getting revenge, Bert Blyleven pitched the Twins to a 1-0 victory over the Red Sox in a duel with Ray Culp. In their previous head-to-head meeting, Culp beat Blyleven, 1-0, May 2. This time, the Twins' Dutch-born righthander scattered seven hits and struck out 11. The only run scored in the fourth inning when Rod Carew tripled and Jim Holt singled.

Dodgers 5, Braves 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
A winner for the first time this season, Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers to a 5-0 victory over the Braves. Dick Allen homered in the second inning, Willie Davis drove in two runs with a single in the third and Jim Lefebvre hit for the circuit with a man on base in the sixth to produce the Dodgers' runs in support of Sutton, who had lost four previous decisions.

Astros 5, Mets 4 at New York (day game):
Doug Rader, who was batting only .154 going into the game, smashed a homer off Tom Seaver in the sixth inning to help the Astros beat the Mets, 5-4. Roger Metzger and Joe Morgan opened the frame with singles and, after two out, Denis Menke singled to score Metzger. Rader followed with his first homer of the season. The Astros, however, needed another run to win and got it in the seventh when Cleon Jones misplayed a liner by Metzger for a two-base error and Morgan singled. Ed Kranepool and Ken Boswell hit back-to-back homers in the Mets' half of the seventh.

Cubs 9, Phillies 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
For the second straight game, Ron Santo, Johnny Callison and Billy Williams hit homers as the Cubs defeated the Phillies again, 9-4. After Williams singled and Jim Hickman walked in the fourth inning, Santo and Callison homered in succession. Glenn Beckert knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded double in the seventh and Williams then capped the Cubs' attack with his round-tripper.

Padres 2, Pirates 1 at San Diego (night game):
After giving up three singles for a run in the first inning, Dave Roberts allowed only one more hit the rest of the way while pitching the Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Pirates. A walk to Ollie Brown and singles by Ivan Murrell and Chris Cannizzaro produced the Padres' tying run in the second and the deciding run counted in the third, after two men were out, on singles by Cito Gaston, Nate Colbert and Brown.

Giants 7, Reds 2 at San Francisco (day game):
A six-run explosion in the second inning carried the Giants to a 7-2 victory in a sweep of their three-game series with the Reds. Two walks around a single by George Foster loaded the bases. One run scored on a single by Tito Fuentes and two counted on a double by Hal Lanier. An error by Tony Perez, an infield out by Frank Johnson and sacrifice fly by Ken Henderson added the other tallies. Willie Mays, who batted in the Giants' last run with a double in the seventh, appeared in his 2,731st game to pass Mel Ott and move into sixth place on the majors' all-time list.
